Java has established itself as a premier development language
for system applications that include web-based e-commerce
applications, network applications, B2B enterprise application
integration and, now, wireless applications. In recent years,
there has been a shift away from simple 2-tier architectures
to multi-tier architectures for web-based e-commerce applications,
network applications and B2B enterprise application integration.
he Java™ 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is
a collection of technologies that includes Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC), Java servlets, Java Server Pages (JSP),
Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Enterprise JavaBeans, and
more. The J2EE provides a standard architecture and suite
of technologies for building enterprise systems that are
scalable, maintainable, reliable, and adaptable. The benefit
to an organization is a common, open platform powerful enough
for industrial strength enterprise systems that integrate
existing legacy systems.
This course focuses on JSP and Servlets in conjunction
with JDBC to provide a solid foundation for building web-based
applications. This is a perfect beginning point for those
entering the J2EE world. The next logical steps are EJBs
(Enterprise Java Beans) and/or Jakarta Struts.
After taking this class, you will be on your way to developing
complex business applications using Java.
